The New York Times has a piece on Frank Bisignano’s time as “CEO” of the Internal Revenue Service that touches a bit on Bisignano’s position at the Social Security Administration. There’s no such position as CEO of the IRS but he’s leading it anyway. Here’s a brief excerpt from the piece:
… He works at the I.R.S. roughly two days a week, commuting from his home in New Jersey to Washington in his private plane, according to five people familiar with his schedule.
“I run two large organizations,” Mr. Bisignano said. “I don’t divide my time. On any given day, for example at 11:15 today, I will have an S.S.A. call, and at 12:30 I will have an I.R.S. call. They’re just two big divisions I run.” …
Two days a week at the IRS. How often is he present at his Social Security office? Probably not that much. I think we know which job he regards as his day job.
Not sure how anyone in this guy's inner circle has any respect for him at all. How do you work for someone like this and keep a straight face?
ReplyDeleteHint: he has surrounded himself with yes men.
DeleteI also commute to work on a private ✈️

Whose paying for this private plane?
DeletePromises… promises .. promises.
ReplyDelete“The administration needs to be very, very careful about what they’re promising about refunds because they don’t have the staffing to quickly resolve these issues and get people their refunds,” said Nina Olson, who previously led taxpayer advocacy efforts at the I.R.S. “There’s nothing worse than promising people something and then not giving it to them.”
Excellent point!
DeleteSSA is down 7000 employees and it’s a car wreck.
ReplyDeleteMr. Bisignano said the agency, with better technology systems, would be able to do more with less. “Head count is not the only metric to look at when you run these businesses with a technological presence,” he said.
Rest assured that Frankenstein is screwing up both agencies!
ReplyDeleteAnyone want to take a bet on how many ignorant hillbilly MAGAs will presume this means SSA workers receive private jet level salaries instead of poverty to lower middle class wages? Guarantee you the number is far above zero.
ReplyDeleteIs he collecting two salaries for full time jobs?
ReplyDeleteOffices around the country are reporting that a lot of PC employees are being moved to answering the phones. Forget about anything getting done. Claims stuck in the system? Nah we have to answer the phones. You want the death underpayment- you’ve gotta wait a few months or years
ReplyDeleteFrank: “I don’t divide my time."
ReplyDeleteAlso Frank: "On any given day, for example at 11:15 today, I will have an S.S.A. call, and at 12:30 I will have an I.R.S. call."
That's literally dividing your time, Frank.
Guess at the end of the week he wont be in charge of as many folks if the shutdown shutters irs and ssa again
ReplyDeleteWhat a sick joke.
ReplyDeleteWonder if Mr. Wall Street Bisignano and Trump attended the same social events?
